Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio What type of setup do u have

What audio setup do u have and how do u think it sounds. I have a JVC head unit(200watts), a audiobahn 12"sub(1100watt rms) and an audiobahn amp(8002T 800rms). I think it sounds very good with deep bass but will sound better once i get a capacitor. Just curious to here what everyone else is pumpin

Alpine Head Unit (CDA-9807), Alpine Speakers (Type S 5x7s) run by Alpine F 240 amp (360 watt max), 2 12" Kicker Comps run by Alpine M 350.

Decent setup. Definitly entry level but I am pleased. The quality is excellent and I can bump pretty loud if i want to. Usually dont crank it though.

comments are more than welcome...

i think it sounds pretty decent, espically with the so-so equipment i have up front. ideally i would like componets and then amp them, an EQ, etc, and then i think the system would be perfect for my tastes. unfortunately its not really worth it at this point since i'm not going to have a car the 1st year in college, starting in august... . im DEFINITELY going to miss my car stereo...

oh and my review:
-the HU serves its purpose, ideally i'd want an external amp though, but huge nice improvement over stock (of course)
-pioneer 3 ways were best bang for your buck thing i did...again large improvement over stock, but they do have their limits...would be better with an external amp.
-crossfire amp is amazing, and so is the diamond subwoofer- so clean, and it gets very low and loud...definitely an SQ sub, but still loud-amazing since im probably giving it about 100-200 watts UNDER its rms rating...if i ported it i think it would be awesome, i think ill do that for my next setup, when the time comes...

People thought it would sound bad. Well, news flash, it doesn't! I know, quantity doesn't necessarily make quality but it sounds damn good if u ask me. This [censored] bumbs, hard. If I listen to it full blast for like 10 min, I'll get a headache, I'm addicted to bass. I have my 15's facing the back, and my 12's facing forward with the seats folded down. The only problems is, with the 15" box being almost as tall as the trunk, I don't feel it lets enough of the sound into the cabin like it should. But it sounds nice to me, thats all the matter, oh yea...and that I make people's heads turn!
